Breedlove Guitars is proud to unveil the Oregon Dreadnought Concerto 12-String CE Myrtlewood-Myrtlewood – Special Edition, which offers lush, layered sound and exceptional resonance. The tonewoods used in this limited run come from a special myrtlewood tree, unique for its high-contrast markings that display one-of-a-kind patterns. The Oregon Dreadnought Concerto 12-String CE Myrtlewood-Myrtlewood Special Edition will debut at the 2025 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show in Anaheim, California.
Designed to inspire creativity and elevate performance, this 12-string guitar combines the tonal warmth, shimmering highs, and balanced lows of myrtlewood to create a rich and dynamic sound profile.
